It has been two weeks since my last blog post, but I promise I have valid reason for my absence, for which I apologize. Almost two weeks ago I found myself in immense pain (I am no softie, I tell you, and had both Lil' Brigs #1 and #2 sans anaesthetic). After admission to the Emergency Department I found myself in an ambulance (my first ambulance ride!), and later on the surgery table. Thankfully everything went well, but I did lose 2L of blood, so I have been mostly confined to bed-rest after I was discharged from the hospital. I am slowly gaining a bit of strength, and am trying to boost my haemoglobin levels (which went down to 76, whatever that means).

Anyway, even before this all happened, I started panicking at the thought of not having purchased a single Christmas present. Thankfully, even from the bed one can shop online *whew*

Have you done all your Christmas shopping yet?

Takeaway coffee at the hospital...my first taste of coffee and/or food in almost 2 days, it was great.

Lovely freesias and irises my SIL brought to me at the hospital (which I later brought home)

Thank goodness for online shopping!

With the help of Lil' Brigs #1 and my mom, we baked some birthday cupcakes for Mr Brigs' bday last weekend

Managed to buy a little something something to brighten my week, from Matches Fashion
Finally tracked down these Chanel mesh espadrilles for myself
Today I ventured out to one of Mr Brigs' Xmas work functions, it was nice being out, but I returned utterly exhausted

Vanilla and orange scented panacotta with blueberry compote - yum!

Felt a little 'Stepford Wife' in this Diane Von Furstenberg dress (I wore it in this post long ago - four years ago!), except I traded the pumps for Isabel Marant Dicker boots to 'dress it down' somewhat...

I do receive gifts and collaborate with brands, but only do so with those I genuinely love. It is my wholehearted effort to keep the content of the site honest and true to my own thoughts and aesthetic.
